Between the three Marvel Cinematic Universe movies Disney released in theaters in 2018, it’s easy to slot each of them into a set of pretty simply defined critical roles. Black Panther is the big prestige picture, helmed by an up-and-coming directing star, tackling complicated emotional and political themes, and…

In a move that we can’t help seeing as ironic—given how many poor factory workers the bumbling inventor has presumably put out of work over the years with his relentless, Rube Goldbergian drive toward automation—it seems that Wallace and Gromit (or at least the studio that makes their movies) now belong to the…

If you’re in the know, you’d be aware that there is already a new show called The Three Caballeros that’s airing overseas right now. And if you’re really in the know, you’d be aware of the illicit locations on the web of where to find episodes of said show. And if you’re really, really in the know, you would have…

Given that it’s a show based entirely around finding the borders and barriers of polite society, then dumping a bowl of soup all over them while loudly yelling “Fuck!” in front of their kids, it’s not surprising that the marketing for Curb Your Enthusiasm might explore that same transgression-friendly territory.…

When it comes to my mobile games, I favor simplicity of structure above almost all else. Something to play on the train, in a dentist waiting room, in those few moments in bed before sleep, in which no real thought is required beyond the instantly dismissible attention time required to solve a puzzle—be it lexical,…

“I deserve to be punished. Don’t I?”

To try to break down Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s songs into two or three categories is a fool’s errand. There are well over 100 at this point, and if you call one a parody and another an “I want” song, what of the parodies that are also “I want” songs? And if those are the three categories, then what about “I want” songs…

California faces a series of serious and deadly wildfires today (and, really, all this past year), with blazes in areas across the state already consuming more than 100,000 acres of land. Among the areas affected, THR reports, are a number that have been used in the past for film and TV production, including ranch…

We’ll be very honest with you here, dear readers: When we woke up this morning, we were not expecting to spend several hours of our day tracking down the identities of the guys who sang one of the most irresistibly annoying ear-worm jingles of our generation, a song that’s been used as audio poison by such intentional…

People say they want good gameplay from streams, but what they’re really looking for is acceptable gameplay paired with great chemistry. Top Twitch streamer Ninja, rapper Logic, and cartoon characters Rick and Morty unfortunately do not have that.

Here’s another reason going to the movies is infinitely better than streaming: themed movie bars. Sure, you can drink a six pack on your couch while watching Netflix, but why not get drunk at a themed kung fu bar?

After decades of attempts, Terry Gilliam finally finished The Man Who Killed Don Quixote this year, debuting the film at Cannes back in May. But while the actual soul-crushing work of making the damn movie is done, Gilliam has since struggled to get his film distributed in international markets, facing off against …

Following in the footsteps of such hard-hitting glimpses of our grimly darkening future as The Handmaid’s Tale, Fringe, and the final episode of Mad About You, Showtime has announced that the last season of The Affair will jump several decades forward in time, cataloging Earth’s big, messy breakup with the human race. …

Now that Ice-T has clarified that he is not, as many have posited, the mind behind @dril, we’ve been free to take the rapper and actor’s online musings at face value. It’s not a bit when Ice-T chronicles his gaming obsession, celebrates a good nut, or chides the Dumb Fucks; it’s simply the unfiltered musings of a man…

Fan theories can be extremely dumb. Many encourage a bad brand of viewership in which every unstated detail in every piece of narrative art is a mystery to be solved, and never merely appreciated as a piece of economical storytelling. This category tends to be very thinly sourced, putting far too much weight on…
